It analyses murder in the frame of Christian theology, the development of medieval law and its distinctions among other types and causes of homicide. It also looks into the links around gender and murder, analysing why men predominate in murder and so few women commit it during the medieval period. This book also looks at political assassinations and the variety and evolution of punishment for homicide. Finally, it compares and contrasts fictional narration of homicide in two literary masterpieces to those in saints' lives and miracle stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedieval Murder: A History, 1300-1500 \u003c\/em\u003ewill appeal to students and scholars alike interested in medieval law, politics, society, theology and literature, as well as all those interested in medieval history in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trevor Dean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032495189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032495187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Trevor Dean","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175754608895,"sku":"9781032495187","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a0df22d-0991-4cc7-ac63-aee1ccb896ae.jpg?v=1771335693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-murder-trevor-dean-9781032495187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
